What Makes Parking Lot Crashes More Common Than Expected
Parking lots can be busy areas with vehicles moving in multiple directions at low speeds. Drivers may be focused on finding spaces rather than watching for other vehicles.
Limited visibility around parked cars can also increase the chance of a collision. Sudden stops and turns are more common in these areas.
Even at lower speeds, crashes can still cause injuries, especially when vehicles collide at close range or involve pedestrians nearby.
